{"product_id":"the-swiss-family-robinson-9781420952469","title":"The Swiss Family Robinson","description":"First published in 1812, Johann David Wyss's \"The Swiss Family Robinson\" is a classic story of survival on a deserted tropical island. While en route to Australia, the titular Swiss Family Robinson finds themselves in great peril when their vessel is caught in a violent storm. As the ship breaks apart when it is battered against a reef, the family is abandoned by their crew, who escape without them in the lifeboats. The family, which consists of a mother, father, and their four sons, are left to fend for themselves. Luckily as the storm subsides they see an island in the distance. After salvaging a plethora of food, livestock, and other supplies they fashion a crude raft from the wreckage and make their way for the island. Every day on the island brings a new adventure and a new obstacle to overcome, as the family struggles to survive in a foreign land isolated from society. Johann David Wyss, a Swiss pastor, wrote this tale of adventure not only to entertain but to instruct, specifically his four sons, in the ways of good family values and the virtue of self-reliance. This exciting adventure has been loved for generations by readers both young and old. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Charles Nodier.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Digireads.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334808768786,"sku":"9781420952469","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_78734867-5770-4bcc-8c4d-0e609ecb9e88.jpg?v=1748594201","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-swiss-family-robinson-9781420952469","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
